B. The additional purposes of specific industrial districts are as follows:

1. Industrial Park District (IP). To provide sites in landscaped settings for service-oriented commercial and light industrial uses with limited customer presence and turnover, including industrial office centers, research and development facilities, limited industrial activities (including production and assembly but no raw materials processing or bulk handling), limited and warehouse type retail and commercial activities, and small-scale warehousing distribution.

2. Limited Industrial District (IL). To provide opportunities for service-oriented commercial and limited industrial uses in transitional areas between heavy industry and residential and commercial land uses. Heavy industrial uses are restricted or subject to discretionary approval in order to minimize their potential impacts on surrounding land uses.

3. General Industrial District (IG). To provide sites for intense industrial uses on large parcels occupied by or directly adjacent to existing heavy industrial uses, as well as on small parcels in the vicinity of heavy industrial uses. Areas are established for heavy industrial uses in order to protect them, to the extent feasible, from disruption and competition for space from unrelated retail and commercial uses that are more appropriately located elsewhere in the city. [Ord. 07-1284 § 3 (Exh. D), 2007; Ord. 979 § 2 (Exh. A), 1990.]

In the following schedule, the letter “P” designates use classifications permitted in industrial districts. The letter “L” designates use classifications subject to certain limitations prescribed by the “Additional Use Regulations” which follow. The letter “U” designates use classifications permitted on approval of a use permit (Chapter 18.28 PMC). The letter “T” designates temporary use classifications permitted on approval of a temporary activity permit. The letter “Z” designates accessory use classifications permitted on approval of the zoning administrator. The symbol (–) under any of the zoning district columns indicates that the use is not allowed in that particular district.
